Knowify allows you to keep a comprehensive catalog of all the materials and services your business offers, along with cost, description and any additional info you’d like to include. This allows you to quickly create budgets without a lot of manual data entry.
Knowify has an industry-leading integration with QuickBooks Online and Desktop. This allows you to track and monitor expenses as they’re incurred. The real-time two-way sync means you and your team can work in one system, and see the data reflected in the other without any additional data entry. This includes all your purchase orders, bills, expenses, employee time, and more.
Knowify also integrates with QuickBooks Payments, so your business can accept online payments from clients in the form of ACH or credit card. These payments are automatically reconciled against their associated invoice, so you have accurate financial tracking and a real-time understanding of your profit margins on a job, without any extra manual entry.
When you create a budget in Knowify, that budget can automatically be carried forward to quickly create a client-facing proposal, and to track costs against once the project is won. Knowify gives you the ability to ‘tag’ projects with custom attributes – this allows you to report over time on related projects and their costs. See which kinds of projects are most accurately budgeted for, and which estimators or project managers on your team are doing the best job sticking to the budget once a project bid is accepted. With a consistent tagging system, you’ll be able to look at past financial performance and budget accuracy to make more informed decisions on future projects.
While contractors of all kinds use Knowify to budget and track their project financials, Knowify’s construction management software and reporting is designed specifically for trade contractors, and not specifically designed for residential builders or large commercial GCs.
